Childhood Memories

Chapter 9: Meet Seth and Sarah

"Seth?" the childish girl asked licking her ice cream cone while sitting on a stool, leaning against the counter. Her big brown eyes on her big brother. Who sat next to her just staring at his glass of water in his hand.

She looks so familiar. But why can't I remember her? Her face…I've seen it before but where? I have to see her again. Wait! What am I doing? Why am I thinking about her so much? I gotta stop thinking about her, Seth thought.

"Seth?" the girl repeated.

"Huh?" Seth then took his eyes of his glass of water and stared at his younger sister. "Uh, sorry."

"Aren't you going to eat an ice cream cone?" the girl asked.

"Nah! I would rather watch you eat your ice cream cone." He said smiling at her. She smiled back and continued to eat her ice cream cone.

I just gotta see her again...

Missy's P.O.V

"Y-You saw the figure?" I asked shocked. I stopped in the middle of the crowd and stared at Zidane shocked.

"Yeah, he was the one that was carrying you." Zidane explained.

"But the figure said to me that no one can see him except me." I said still shocked.

"You mean you saw the monster before?" Zidane said now staring at me. I simply nodded my head and looked down at the ground.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Zidane said seriously.

"I don't know! I guess I just didn't want to go home. I knew that if I told anyone they would tell Baku and-," But Zidane interrupted me.

"You should know that I would never to that." He said staring straight into my eyes. "You're lucky he didn't hurt you."

"Um…actually-," That was all I needed to say before Zidane freaked out.

"He hurt you, didn't he?" Zidane said.

"Only a little." I said. I grabbed my long-sleeve shirt and pulled it up to my shoulders revealing the hand mark the figure left. Zidane's eyes widened.

"NOW I'M GOING TO KILL THAT THING FOR SURE!!!" Zidane yelled.

"I think it's permanent." I said as Zidane softly touched my scar with his fingers.

"OH THAT'S IT! I SHOULD HAVE KILLED HIM WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE!" Zidane yelled. "WHERE WAS LOWELL WHEN THIS HAPPENED!?"

"He ran away." I simply said.

"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM TOO!!!" Zidane yelled.

"What's all the yelling about?" A voice called behind us. I turned around to see the guy that treated me. He had a leather jacket hanging over his shoulder with his little sister walking beside them. He walked over with a sly smile and stopped when he reached us.

"Hello there!" I said to the girl as she came towards me. "And what's your name?"

"I'm Sarah, and that's my brother Seth!" She said giggling a little.

"And where did you guys head off to?" Zidane said, as I played with Sarah's hair a little.

"I went to take her to the ice cream parlor, isn't that right Sarah?" Seth said smiling down at her.

"Uh-huh!" she said swinging her body back and forth. She then ran up to her brother and hugged him. "Thank you!"

"For what?" Seth said looking down at her with his hand on her head.

"For being my brother!" she said smiling up at him. He smiled down at her.

"Oh how cute! I wish I had a child." I said dreamily at Sarah and Seth. Zidane and Seth then looked at me in shock. I put my hands up on my hips and looked at them disgusted.

"You have nasty little perverted minds." I said.

"Heh, heh. You can't blame us, we're only men." Zidane said scratching the back of his head.

"I want a child too! But how do I get a child?" the girl asked.

"Um…let's go back and buy you another ice cream cone." Seth said before I was able to speak.

"Come on. You have to let the girl know sometime." I said looking at Seth.

"Fine then! Why don't you tell her?" Seth said, with his arms folded.

"Sure." I said as I walked over to Sarah. "Let's go leave these boys and talk else where."

"Okay!" She said cheerfully.

We then walked away from the boys leaving just Seth and Zidane.

Author's P.O.V

Seth stood there staring dreamily at Missy as she walked away with his sister. When they were out of their sight, Seth turned towards Zidane again.

"You're a lucky guy." Seth said.

"What are you talking about?" Zidane asked.

"Aren't you ad Missy together?" Seth asked.

"No…" Zidane said. "Well, at least not yet." Zidane mumbled to himself the last sentence.

"What was that?" Seth asked.

"Um…no we're not together." Zidane said quickly.

"So she's single?" Seth said kind of cheerful. Zidane stared at him with a why-do-you-want-to-know look.

"…Yeah." Zidane said as if not all that cheerful.

"Oh…" Seth said with a smile on.

"I need to find Missy and Blank. We have to leave this village so we can find some friends. It was nice meeting you, but we have to leave!" Zidane said walking through the crowds.

"Wait! Where are you guys going?" Seth said catching up with Zidane.

"I don't know but we gotta look for some friends of ours around the continent."

"Hey, I've almost finished repairing your airship." Seth said.

"Really?" Zidane said stopping in his tracks.

"But you have to wait till' morning." Seth said.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now I don't ever want a baby." Sarah said sticking her tongue out in disgust. She sat up on the rooftop watching the sunset as Missy sat next to her.

Missy's P.O.V

"Good. But when you get older and you get married, most likely you will." I said as I looked up at the sunset.

"No way!" she said with a disgusted look on her face.

I laughed at her expression. "But don't worry, you have a lot of time to think about it." I said smiling at her.

"Hey…um…Missy?" Sarah said looking down at her fingers. "You're an adult and my brother is an adult, so…um…"

I looked at her wondering what she was getting at.

"Can you marry my brother?" she asked now looking at me.

I looked at her surprised. I opened my mouth to speak, but Sarah started to cry. Sarah took her eyes off me and brought her knees up to her chest and she started to cry on her knees. I gave out a slight sigh.

"Sarah…" I called.

"Missy please! M-My brother's a good man!" she said still crying.

"Yes he is, but why do you want your brother to get married so bad?" I asked in a gentle voice.

"Because I want him to be happy." She said looking at me.

"Your brother doesn't need to be married in order to be happy" I said. "He has you to be happy."

"But…but…" she stuttered, "I think my brother really likes you."

I looked at her kind of token back. How does she know this? Did Seth tell her? Or does she just know how her bother feels?

"Well, let's just see" I said. I didn't want to tell her what I really felt, but seeing her cry like that made me feel sorry for her.

"You mean you'll think about it?" She said taking her head off her knees and looking at me. Her tears suddenly stopped multiplying.

I nodded my head. "You're the best!" she said as she hugged me.

I gave out a smirk. "What do you say we go and look for the boys?" I asked her. She let go of me, and smiled up to me and nodded.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I wonder what's taking them so long." Seth said as he sat on the couch in the living room.

"You know girls." Zidane said sitting on the same couch Seth was sitting on.

All of a sudden the front door opened and Blank walked in.

"Blank!" Zidane called as Blank came into to join them. "Where were you?"

"I had to go and check on the airship to see what was missing." Blank said as he walked over to the wall next to Zidane and leaned on it.

"Where are Sarah and Missy?" But before anyone was able to answer Blank's question the front door opened and Missy and Sarah came in giggling about something.

"Next time can we go for a boat ride?" Sarah asked.

"Sure." I simply said.

"So how was your little talk?" Seth asked Sarah who ran up to the couch and sat in between Zidane and Seth.

"Great, but yet disgusting!" Sarah said cheerfully.

"So where did you guys go?" Zidane asked.

"We were sitting on someone's roof top."

"So are we going to go back to Lindblum to find Saul and Celia?" Blank asked.

"Come on Sarah, it's time to go to bed." Seth said.

"Can I stay up for this on night?" Sarah begged.

"No" Seth said.

"Please!" Sarah begged.

"No." Seth said again.

"Pretty please!!!" she continued to beg.

"Sarah! You need to go to bed." Seth said.

"But-," I interrupted her sentence before she begged again.

"Come on Sarah, I'll put you to bed." I said.

"Okay!" she said suddenly cheerful.

We walked up the stairs into a pink door. I walked in to see a bed in the left corner and a shelf with dolls on the right. It wasn't much but it was okay, there was also a window next to the shelf that was open letting in cool air from outside.

Sarah ran up to her bed and threw herself on top of it. I walked up to her bed side and grabbed her bed cover and put it on top of her.

"Hey Missy. When are you going to ask my brother?" Sarah asked.

"I have to think about it, remember?" I said looking down at her.

"If you can't, then you can kiss him so at least he thinks you like him?" Sarah said. "And then marry him."

"I'll tell you what, I'll sleep on it." I said standing up off her bed.

"All right!" she said kind of pouting. I walked up to the door and opened it so that the light from the hallway peeked through the door and lightened the darkened room a little.

"Good night, Missy!" Sarah called.

"Good night, Sarah!" I said smiling at her. I walked out of the door and closed the door after I took a last glance at Sarah. I walked down to the group in the living room.

"How is she?" Seth asked standing up off the couch and walking towards me. We stood by the staircase and Zidane and Blank continued to talk among each other.

"She's sleeping." I said.

"Oh…" he simply said. "I hope she didn't bother you."

"Not at all. She's really fun to be with. Your sister loves you a lot!" I said smiling.

"Oh, yeah." Seth then started to scratch the back of his head.

"Um…thanks for telling her that talk about…babies. I knew I would have to tell her one day but I didn't know how to."

"No problem." I said.

"So…a…Missy…um…if your not busy and all…do you want to go out wi-," But Seth's sentence got interrupted from a scream upstairs.

"AAAHHHHHHHH!!!"
